Ha. Sure there is, but I've got loads of English-language films to watch too! The foreign entries this year don't really interest me. Unless you'd like to recommend a few to me.

I believe you would enjoy the Danish film A Hijacking, Algren.

Yes, it came out in June 2013 in the U.S., and these awards adhere to the American release schedule.

Big Bad Wolves is a 2014 U.S. release, so I believe it will qualify here next year.

^What he said. It has got a better chance then.

Algren, try to check out the Korean film New World and the Belgian The Broken Circle Breakdown.

If anyone is interested in viewing worthwhile (in my opinion) 2013 documentaries, in addition to obvious ones such as 20 Feet from Stardom, The Act of Killing, Blackfish, and Stories We Tell, I recommend:

Hm. I did not include Trance on my ballot outside of Best Original Song because I figured it would never have enough popular support here to earn any nominations, but perhaps I am wrong.

Dead wrong. I'll be including it in a few categories. And you really shouldn't vote in that way.

Since when do you care about that? ;) I mean you cannot seriously be expecting any nominations for Byzantium, right? ;)

My votes are a blend. I did champion All Is Lost and Byzantium (and mine will not be the only ballot to feature the latter, just wait and see), but, in other cases, my choices are more "political." For Best Actor, for example, I know Dennis Quaid, in At Any Price, has zero, zero, zero chance. I do not believe anyone else here has even watched the film, so I included another, higher profile performance I also admire in the fifth slot instead.

Lead, in my opinion.

You mean The Act of Killing, and yes, of course it's eligible. It's in Indonesian.

Do people here buy the Weinstein assertion Julia Roberts is a supporting player in August: Osage County, or is she truly a co-lead alongside Meryl Streep?

I believe Scarlett fits in Best Supporting Actress. It is a vocal performance, and I do not believe her presence is strong enough to position her as a co-lead. It is Joaquin Phoenix's film.

I'm putting Julia Roberts (the only thing I'm nominating from August Osage County) in supporting, David. It's just easier.

I am nominating Julianne Nicholson myself.

But I found Roberts' placement hard to pinpoint, so I thought it might be worth posing the question.
